A Rock band from Waikato, New Zealand with a Pop-Punk/Grunge feel and a listenable edge.

With a stronger presence in the youth market through playing All Ages gigs and their Myspace site, they nonetheless command respect from the older demographic through their numerous R18 shows.
2005 saw their 1st big engagement supporting Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins (U.S.A) at The St James Theatre, Auckland, NZ which opened more opportunities to gig in the Auckland area. Corgans band included Matt Walker (Former drummer for Filter and The Smashing Pumpkins), Brian Liesegang (Guitarist/Founding member of Filter) and Keyboardest Linda Strawberry. This year also saw them enter Studio 203 (Somerset, Kitsch, The D4) to record their 1st 2 track demo of the songs ‘Less Than Negative’ and ‘Decent Side’ The band made their radio debut on 16/04/2006 when ‘Less Than Negative’ was the ‘demo of the week’ on The Rock FM.
The band has since recorded a 5 track demo at Chazz Rabbles Number 8 Wire Recording Studio which has seen songs KILLING TIME and FALLING appear on national music channel C4TV on the shows Studentville and M.E.A.T.Y.
